Hello Guy,
My cup of tea in regards to comics?
I have never read comics, but when it comes to books, I read psi-fi and
swords and sorcery. I also have fond memories of my mom reading the
really amusing comics in the news paper.
I have another suggestion:
Ask a writer of a patreon comic strip if they would be willing to let
you read it.
Alternatively, you could join patreon, but I'm not 100% sure you would
want to do that. I would add on your site that you would be willing to
read people's comics.

thanks,
Brandon Keith Biggs <http://www.brandonkeithbiggs.com/>
